Use a gyroscope to demonstrate how, over time, we become fixed in our ways, personalities, and, as a mature person, psychologically resistant to change. With EFFORT, however, we can make changes. We are not today exactly what we were yesterday. We are almost imperceptibly different. We do change with time and we can control to an extent the direction of the changes.

Summary

However, the quote emphasizes that with effort, we can overcome this resistance and make changes. It acknowledges that we are not the same today as we were yesterday, as we constantly undergo gradual and almost imperceptible changes over time. The quote also highlights our ability to exert some control over the direction of these changes, implying that we have the power to shape our own personal growth and development.
